Superpowered Mind with Clare Dimond

Listener question: why does criticism feel so bad and how do I stop the belief that people are doing it to be nasty?

Listener question: there have been reports of people driven to terrible actions, apparently because they believed there was no other choice. How does that work in a conversation about reality? 

Listener question: is there any truth in our thoughts? Or are they always just a collection of random stuff picked up along the way?

Listener question: I am making delicious treats for my very picky dog (more cat than dog), I finally found some that she likes. And I very much love doing all that and there is so little of quality ones at the market and I am thinking of selling it. BUT – I would be in business where animals would be slaughtered because of me! So I think that in the end, I probably won't go with it... (I stil...

Listener question:  At work my line manager has very limiting beliefs and uses me to vent to about anyone and anything which annoys her.  I find this increasingly difficult to deal with.......  Most of the time I don’t agree and recently rather than going with it I have found myself trying to reason with her and convert her to my beliefs! Why? I know I can’t change her.........  Every time this ha...

Listener question:   Do you have any comments that I could consider in terms of taking blame or feeling guilt for something, please?  The position of self (which feels like me, inseparable, not something I am observing) is that I made choices to set boundaries in relationships, which in these instances meant prioritising a professional coaching relationship rather than a friendship. The result in...

Listener question: I am wondering how you see boundaries in the context of non-duality.  I would say that I have very weak boundaries whilst being deeply suspicious that we need them!  If we are in touch with our true self does that not take care of the need for them?

Listener question: what do you mean with human self, the self? The terms ego, self, soul, inner self are confusing.

hi Clare - I wonder if you could sum up the simple essential truths about this understanding. I love how you explain everything in different ways to make it more understandable. It shows how this works in our daily life. But sometimes it feels good for me to see the big and simple picture, to get back to simplicity. It gives an overview or a frame for it all. 

Exploring how this phrase fits with what we know about behaviour, choice and reality

Listener question : I was wondering how oneness and uniqueness are possible at the same time... how can any expression be more unique than another if there is no separation to begin with.. 

Listener question: Could you say maybe something about confidence and competition. Recently it became apparent that the I seems to be in constant competition in all areas of life. Keeping a hypervigilant gaze on the others who seem always better, more competent, more charming, compatible, positive, etc. It’s tough times for a lot of people, but somehow the I believes to be the utter underdog (at w...

Listener question:  It seems that what we're calling "apparent reality" isn't the same as illusion or dream, it's the learned, conditioned perception each brain body has of reality. An illusion or a dream cannot be touched, it's intangible. Just like the imagination of the mind in creating future scenarios that aren't happening, they aren't real. Those are i...

How did you first really "get" this?  Was it a sudden Road to Damascus moment of utter seeing and knowing that in a flash changed everything forever, or was it rather a long slow drawn-out painful grind of  stops and stutters till you finally saw what an idiot you'd been seeing things any other way?   Book reference:  Conversations in Non Duality: Twenty Six Awakenings  by Eleanora...

Listener question: How does this conversation not slide over into there's no form and therefore no science to study that form, no laws to govern the interaction of forms (traffic speed laws or requirements on auto safety design), and no reason to treat one another well? This can just as easily slide into the other side of a conditioned response called nihilism. You've already spoken abou...

A listener request for comment on an email: I think I may have had an epiphany.  Or something.  I’m not sure.   I am a container for Mind.  A conduit for Infinite Intelligence.  An individual expression of the animating force of the universe.  It expresses through me. I think and I feel.  Thoughts and feelings come spontaneously, which generate behavior.  I have no control over any of it.  When I’...

As I've worked through relationships and roles the common thread I am finding is the overwhelming sense of responsibility wherever there is suffering or stress. My question - does the sense of responsibility come from the need to control, or does the need to control create the sense of responsibility?

So beliefs, experience, action are revealing what has been learned by the form/being... But what about thoughts, feelings, emotions? Are they revealing anything/have any purpose? Or like the 3P people say, are they just randomly coming in from who knows where or what? Thanks!!

Listener question: please describe separation and no-separation

Can you please do a podcast on fate and destiny seen from the perspective of learning vs the impulse of life being lived.

There is no self that is the do-er because the self is a concept created by the brain-body as part of learning. And that does not mean an absence of doing or the being having custody of that doing. Can you speak on this please?

Listener question:  I do not have control over other people, events, and circumstances.  Agreed.  And I do not have control over the thoughts that bubble up in my mind.  They arise on their own, for the most part.  But I CAN think on purpose.  Thoughts may arise, but I can also think intentionally.  And this applies to my actions even more so.  My instinct may be to anger or blame or withdraw.  Bu...

Exploring Puma Chodron's quote 'The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently'. 

Exploring life's purpose with the Remi quote: 'Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.'

Exploring how true integrity is never about separation.
